Investors in Resource Banq Group’s seed round were exclusively HNW individuals, who were attracted by the results being achieved through Resource Banq Group’s unique approach.

“We are thrilled with the reception Resource BanQ Group has received from such a highly respected group of individual investors,” said John McAlpine, CEO, “This is an important milestone for Resource Banq Group and we believe investor interest confirms our strategy to invest in lower middle market companies that can truly benefit from our operational and financial support.” Resource Banq Group has assembled an experienced team to lead the investment vehicle and actively manage the target companies.

The management team has experience in various acquisitions and is backed by a group of distinguished investors who have deep experience and expertise in unlocking business opportunities, structuring deals, and operating numerous private and public companies. “We have formed a highly regarded team of advisors in the education space and we are set to lead the sector,” said Mr. McAlpine. Prior to founding Resource Banq Group, Mr. McAlpine built a highly visible Australian media business that raised the profile of national brands using out-of-home advertising techniques. Mr. McAlpine also led the process for the potential acquisition of the failing Borders Book stores in Australia and New Zealand, successfully raising $12M in committed capital during the height of the Global Financial Crisis.

“Resource Banq Group presents business owners with more than simply capital. Entrepreneurs look for growth and Resource Banq Group is built by entrepreneurs and funded by entrepreneurs, so we bring a level of understanding that most other capital cannot provide,” said Mr. McAlpine. Resource Banq Group has a unique structure using industry specialist groups within the group. Mr. McAlpine added, “Each sub-group has deep industry experience to grow each company they advise, while our central group makes the financial transaction smooth and simple for the business acquisition to proceed without interrupting the business operations of the acquired company.”
